The business association is backing an effort by Insectarium president Steve Kanya, who is creating an 8,000-square-foot butterfly pavilion.
“Everybody loves butterflies,” Kanya said.
Specifically, Kanya is encouraging people to plant milkweed, a perennial on which female butterflies lay eggs. A butterfly release is temporarily planned for the Mayfair May Fair, on May 21.
